The Qantas group thinks about the almighty $, and if they reposition these pilots into roles inside the group efficiently they save $'s on redundancy. If this was a reposition to SH or LH then yes I can see a minimum of a 12 month wait, but it's not. The subsidiaries who would take these pilots are still actively recruiting so to absorb the roles of 5 airframes into 4 subsidiaries I can see it being done reasonably quickly.
